“As a group, how will we react to the denial of justice for Trayvon Martin and the hundreds of others whose names we don’t even know” that have been murdered by police and freelance racists? The last thing we need will be “mealy mouthed platitudes urging us to ‘talk about race’ and silly questions about why black and white people see things differently.”

If America fails to finally find compassion for the legions of “other people’s” children it has killed, then it will never comprehend why its own, internal massacres occur with such frequency. “Indiscriminate violence made America what it is today.”

“A culture that celebrates the annihilation of whole peoples, casually and without guilt or introspection, is devoid of human values at its very core.” Ultimately, such a society turns against itself. It’s not a sudden madness, but a long history of mass murder come full circle.

Our new web site is almost here. The first stage of our makeover was moving our 8 years of content to new servers, which we did over the holidays. The second stage was optimizing the performance of those new servers, which we finished after a brief outage last Thursday. The third stage will be rolling out the new site, with restored images, better sound and new features, coming by the end of this month. Thank you for your patience.
